What's In A Manip?

I've been thinking about this for a while, seeing reactions to fan arts from old fans, new fans, artistically inclined fans, and those who appreciate it. I want to share just what goes into making a typical photo manipulation since that is one of my more prolific ventures in fan art. Now, I have done a tutorial of sorts before, which can be found here. But I guess this is more for those who dont particpate in fan art to see the many things that can go into creating such an image beside the pasting of heads onto bodies.
